2009 SEASON OUTLOOK MONKS LOOK TO DEFEND GREAT NORTHEAST ATHLETIC CONFERENCE TITLE AND RETURN TO NCAA NEW ENGLAND REGIONAL

strong opponents such as Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Thomas More College, Skidmore College and St. Joe’s of New York. Coach Sanborn comments on the 2009 southern swing, “This should be a great trip – the spring trip to Florida is always something to look forward to, but this year will be more challenging as the teams will be stronger. I am confident that our team will be focused on winning baseball games and getting our season off to a good start. We have been gearing all of our efforts in the early season toward making sure we are ready to compete on day one. This team has the veteran leadership needed to put together another run at the NCAA New England Regional”. Following the ninegame Florida schedule, the Monks will head for New Jersey for a three-game set with New Jersey City University.

The last four seasons have been among the most successful in Saint Joseph’s College Baseball history and the Monks are looking to continue that trend in 2009. In 2005, the St. Joe’s Baseball Team finished with a 32-10 record and captured their first NAC Championship and ECAC berth. The 2006 version of Monks Baseball took the program to new heights by posting a second consecutive 30-win season (34-10-1), second consecutive North Atlantic Conference Championship, and first-ever appearance in the NCAA New England Regional. In 2007, Saint Joseph’s College established the program as one of the top in New England with a third straight 30-win season (30-10), third consecutive North Atlantic Conference Championship, and second straight trip to the NCAA New England Regional. 2008 presented a new challenge, as St. Joe’s moved into the Great Northeast Athletic Conference. After a slow start in conference play (0-4 in the first weekend), the Monks rebounded to capture the team’s first GNAC Championship and advanced to the NCAA New England Regional for the third consecutive year. Even with heavy losses to graduation, Coach Sanborn looks for his team to contend for the 2009 GNAC Championship and be in a position to challenge at the regional level.

The New England portion of the schedule should be very challenging in ‘09. Coach Sanborn on the 2009 New England schedule, “I feel our schedule will prepare us well for the GNAC tourney and the NCAA Regional. Last year, we began to develop some rivalries within the GNAC; we really look forward to competing with these teams. We will be hosting the GNAC tournament for the first time this year, and we really want to do a first-class job so that we can continue to host our conference tournament. We also have a very competitive nonconference schedule including teams like the University of Southern Maine, Keene State , Bowdoin and Amherst Colleges. If we can compete with this schedule, we should have a shot at not only getting back to the Regional, but winning it. We have always believed that a strong regular season schedule will help us compete in the postseason and 2009 is no different. We believe this team will exhibit a strong balance of solid pitching, timely hitting, and outstanding defense. Since the Great Northeast Athletic Conference has an automatic qualification to the NCAA Regional, our conference schedule will certainly be the focus of our efforts in the month of April.”

Catching

Great Northeast Athletic Conference baseball looks to be very competitive in 2009. With quality teams from Suffolk University, Johnson and Wales University, Norwich University, Rivier College, Albertus Magnus College, Emerson College, and Lasell College, the Monks will have all they can handle with a demanding conference schedule. If hard work, a positive attitude, and a competitive spirit are any indication, St. Joe’s Baseball is poised to compete at the top of the GNAC with the goal being a fourth straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

The Monks will feature a talented group of catchers. Sophomore Ian Lee is coming off an outstanding first year donning the Royal Blue after hitting .341 and being named GNAC Rookie of the Year. Junior Travis Adams of Saco, Maine, returns and will share the catching duties. Travis’s outstanding defensive ability and his strong left-handed bat make this duo among the top in the conference.

St. Joe’s will open the schedule with a trip to Winter Haven, Florida. The schedule looks challenging with 3

2008 SEASON OUTLOOK North Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Year and NAC Tournament MVP. As a sophomore, Wade hit .364 with 17 walks and 34 runs scored out of the leadoff spot. As a junior, Wade hit .341 with 30 RBI while continuing to play a remarkable right field. Sophomores Eric LaBatte (.283, 13 RBI) and Todd Keneborus (.341, 15 RBI) will play even bigger roles in 2009. Craig Woodbrey will move from the mound to the outfield and could be the biggest surprise of 2009. Senior Stephan Gorsun will continue to be a key player off the bench for the Monks as a defensive replacement or pinch runner.

Senior Michael Hebenstreit will continue to provide leadership and freshman Jon Dahms will add to the depth at this critical position.

Coach Sanborn on the importance of this group of catchers, “Everything starts with the catchers for this ball club. We have a young pitching staff who will feed off the leadership of the catching corps. Depth behind the plate will also help us in backup roles at other positions, and at times, the catchers will fill the designated hitters spot.”

Infield

Coach Sanborn on the outfielders, “We have several veteran outfielders who know how to play together, yet they may be playing new positions this year. We should have one of the top defensive teams around, and I am confident we will have outstanding outfield play in 2009.

I also look for these guys to be the offensive backbone of the team.”

The Monks’ infield will have a new look in 2009 – much will depend on how quickly they mature. One familiar face will be junior first baseman Ben GrantRoy (.367. 7 HR, 41 RBI). Ben will anchor a young infield and hit in the middle of the order for Coach Sanborn. Pat Moran and frosh Peter Allain will also vie for time at first base.

Pitching Once again the Monks possess a great deal of potential in this, the most important aspect of the game.

If the young pitchers on the staff can develop quickly, the Monks could have one of the strongest pitching staffs in New England again this year.

Youthful exhuberance will dominate the rest of the Monks infield spots! The hot corner will feature two solid prospects in freshmen, two Maine products, Justin Frechette of Oxford Hills High and Dan Brown of Deering High. The shortstop position will feature sophomore Chris Campbell and freshman Dan Achorn of Bow, New Hampshire. At second base, junior Mike Burdin will vie for time with Justin Young of Sanford, Maine. How this young group of infielders shakes out will be perhaps the biggest question for the Monks as the ’09 campaign gets under way.

Saint Joseph’s College will have a good mix of returners and veterans available to “toe the slab” in 2009. Senior Captain Andy Pooler will lead the staff, whether from a starting or relieving role.

Junior left-handers Andrew Keirstead and Kyle Dorr should play key roles for Coach Sanborn.

Dorr was 2-1 with a 3.06 era and Keirstead was 6-3 and claimed the GNAC Tournament Most Valuable Player Award in ‘08. Another junior, lanky righ-hander Pat Moran, should pitch near the top of the rotation in 2009.

Moran pitched much better than his 4-5 record in ‘08 and has something to prove in ‘09. Yet another junior who should play a key role is right-handed reliever Chris Nanof. Coach Sanborn will look to Chris to be a reliable setup man. Junior transfer Shawn Hall (SMCC) has a strong work ethic and could vie for a spot in the starting rotation.

Coach Sanborn on the prospects for the infield, “We have some new faces in the infield this year, and I am excited about their potential. It is great to have young guys who want to work and improve each day. If these young players can mature and demonstrate poise, we should have a nice year. Good defense is a key to winning games so we will put a lot of focus on this aspect of the game each day in practice.”

Outfield The Monks have a good mix of veterans and newcomers in the outfield for 2008. Senior Wade Oliver returns after three stellar years for SJC. As a freshman in 2006, he was named

2008 SEASON OUTLOOK Overall

The sophomore class features several pitchers who played a key role in ‘08 and will be relied on even more in ‘09. Right-handed starter Mason Roberge (6-2, 4.07 era) and left-handed reliever Chris Dion should be the “go-to” guys for Coach Sanborn this year.

Lefty Matt Mullen and righty Kevin Chamberlain have worked hard to expand their roles this year.

Coach Sanborn with his thoughts on the upcoming season – his seventeenth year as the Monks skipper: “Expectations are extremely high for this group, but even more so within the group.

After four consecutive conference championships and three straight trips to the NCAA New England Regional, these veterans expect to win, and they know what it takes to win. Despite the successful tradition this program has had over the years, we have a lot of newcomers in key positions. How quickly the new players come along will be a key. One of the things that may set this group apart is the team chemistry. We have strong leadership and the guys really pull together. The work ethic is outstanding and they are very competitive. I look for this to be an extremely exciting year.”

The freshman class will be led on the mound by lefty Steven Murray. This Walpole High (Mass.) product was one of the top pitchers in Massachusetts last year and should compete to be in the starting rotation as a freshman. Another lefty with promise is control specialist Gerry Howley of Millis, Mass.

Yet another impressive first-year pitcher is right-hander Curtis Orlik from Brimfield, Mass. Freshman Josh Astbury had a strong fall baseball season and will also be in the hunt for innings.

Coach Sanborn on his pitching staff, “Pitching is the key and this group has a lot of unanswered questions, yet I am confident they will come along quickly and give us what we need. If we are going to contend for an NCAA bid we have to go 8-10 deep with our staff. With our competitive schedule, we need quality starts and people we can count on in relief.”

PLAYER PROFILES WADE OLIVER • #1 • Outfield • Senior • Captain • 5-10 • 190 Sports Management • Owls Head, Maine • Rockland H.S. established along the way are priceless. I couldn’t have asked for a better situation to come into after high school.

First, I would like to thank my entire family for all of their support throughout the years. There is no way I would be where I am today without their guidance. I would also like to thank Coach Sanborn for giving me the opportunity to play baseball for him. I have learned a tremendous amount from him, not only just about the game, but about life. I do now understand the “Greater Purpose of Saint Joseph’s Baseball.” Coach Sanborn is truly a hard working man of integrity and instills that in his players. His dedication to the program and his players is second to none. I just hope someday he will tell stories about me to his players as he does about my favorite Monk baseball player of all time, Francois Boutin. And Coach, once again, it’s the ’27 Yankees.

I would also like to thank all the assistant coaches over the years, especially Coach McCarthy. He is a key reason to my growth as a baseball player and always there to share a good movie quote with. And I could never forget Father John. I had the privilege of spending my freshman year at school while he was there. FJ was, and still is, there for you whenever you need anything, whether it be homework, studying for a test, or some advice. He will go out of his way to help you. I should also take the time to thank all my teammates over the past years. The moments we’ve had together I will cherish my whole life.

Our team chemistry and perseverance has truly made us a better squad, not to mention an awesome group to be around.

The baseball team has been a family away from home for me, and I am forever grateful for that. I will be sharing stories about you men for the rest of my life.

Lastly, I want to thank all of my roommates from Suite O: Pooler, Snuffy, Benny, OB, Burdman, and even those two guys that live at the end of the hall, Leger and Kyle. There is never a dull moment with you clowns and I have loved every second of it.

The 2009 Monks Baseball team will be a fun team to watch. We have a solid mix of veterans and first-year players, not to mention a great coaching staff that will be out to defend the GNAC Championship crown. I have been fortunate to win three conference championships in three years with the Monks, and I’m going to do everything I can to make it four for four.

As Coach Mirabello would say, I am “Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a JACKED UP for this season fellas! common vision, the ability to direct individual accomThanks again everybody for all the plishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel support, especially the school and all the that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” ~ Andrew Carnegie students. GO MONKS!!!

Wade came to Saint Joseph’s from Rockland High School as a highly-regarded multi-sport athlete.

Also a standout football and basketball player at Rockland, Wade chose to pursue baseball at the college level. An honor student at Rockland, Wade was a two time KVAC All-Conference selection.

Wade was also selected for the Frozen Ropes Underclassman AllStar Game and the Maine Senior Baseball All-Star Classic. In high school, Wade played many different positions, plugging any holes that needed to be filled for coach Richie Oliver.

As a freshman at SJC, Wade began his college career in style. He was named North Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Year as well as NAC Tournament Most Valuable Player. In his first year, Wade hit .357 with 41 hits, 29 runs, and 21 RBI. Wade was also 9-11 in stolen bases. As a sophomore Wade battled through injuries to have another fine year batting .364 with 25 RBIs, 34 runs scored, and a perfect 13-13 stolen bases. Always a clutch performer, Wade was named to the 2007 North Atlantic Conference All-Tournament Team. Following the season Wade was also named to the NAC All-Conference Team. As a junior in 2008 Wade had another fine year, finishing with a .341 average with 30 RBI and once again displayed his patented diving catches in the outfield. As a result Wade was named to the 2008 All-GNAC Team, the 2008 GNAC All-Tournament Team and became the first recipient of the Saint Joseph’s College Gold Glove Award. As a senior captain, Coach Sanborn looks for Wade to provide stability and leadership for the Monks lineup.

Wade is the son of Richie Oliver and Tanja Patterson.

My tenure at St. Joe’s is coming to an end, and it seems as though I just arrived on campus as a “wet behind the ears freshman” to steal a Coach Sanborn quote.

Coach steered me away from that “other school” down the road and coming here turned out to be the best decision I have ever made. Now I could write page after page about my experience here at SJC, however, I probably have some kind of limit so I will keep it short. It may sound cliché, but my years here have been the best of my life. The relationships that I have

PLAYER PROFILES STEPHAN GORSUN • #6 • Outfield • Senior • Captain • 5-7 • 160 Finance & Accounting • South Berwick, Maine • Marshwood H.S. and makes this team so unique is truly a credit to Coach Sanborn.

A fine example for his teammates with outstanding leadership qualities, Stephan Gorsun will serve as a captain for St. Joe’s, along with Wade Oliver and Andy Pooler, during his senior season.

There is no doubt that Coach Sanborn has been extremely successful coaching baseball at St. Joe’s. He’s brought the program to new heights, but I commend him more, not for teaching and coaching the game of baseball, but for teaching and coaching life.

He’s been able to use baseball as a way to teach us integrity and accountability and the skills it takes to be successful not only on the field, but in the real world. In short, he’s helped teach us what it means to be men. For that, I’m forever grateful.

Stephan played his high school baseball at Marshwood High School in South Berwick, Maine.

Coach has also put together a group of guys that is more than just a baseball team. From the outside, most people don’t understand it. This team is more than wins and losses, or individuals.

At the risk of sounding corny, it’s a family.They’re not only there to celebrate success, but to pick you up when life gets rough; the type of guys you’d want in the trenches with you. The time I’ve spent with these guys has been some of the best times of my life.

There are so many stories and experiences we’ve been able to share, and I consider myself lucky to have been a part of it all.

Steve’s speed, versatility and positive attitude make him a key asset for the Monks. In his tenure at St. Joe’s, Stephan has played a backup role in the outfield and is often the first pinch runner off the bench for Coach Sanborn. The Monks skipper on Steve; “Steve is an important member of our ball club. He has many leadership qualities, both on and off the field. It is very valuable to be able to bring someone off the bench whom you can trust to run the bases wisely. Steve also plays a solid outfield and is a contact hitter who can handle the bat. Stephan is a great student and is well respected on campus – he is a fine example for our younger players.”

To Wade, Pooler, Hebe and the rest of the Suite-O fellahs, I don’t think I could ask for better friends. We’ve had some great times and more laughs than I could ever count. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’d also like to thank my family for all their love and support. I appreciate all the things you guys do for me and everything you’ve sacrificed to help me get to where I am today. I didn’t forget about you, Coach McCarthy; just think of it as saving the best for last. For close to eight years you’ve been a steady support system in my life, a great coach, but a better friend.

Stephan is the son of Charlie and Patty Gorsun of South Berwick, Maine.

We are faced with big decisions in life everyday, but nearly four years ago, in a dorm room at Bentley College, I made the best decision of my young life. I came to St. Joe’s as a second semester transfer who was a bit lost in life and looking for direction and a place to belong; St. Joe’s and the baseball team was just that. I didn’t know what to expect coming in, but the team pulled me in like I had been there all along. I learned quickly that baseball at St. Joe’s was something special. The culture we have that brings us so tightly together

Although I’m dreading it, at some point this ride will come to an end, but when all is said and done, I can sit back and know that I’m ready for the challenges the real world will hold, due in great part to the fact that I was lucky enough to play baseball and go to school at St. Joe’s.

PLAYER PROFILES ANDREW POOLER • #23 • Pitcher • Senior • Captain • 6-0 • 160 Sports Management • Southwest Harbor, Me. • Mt. Desert Island H.S. Andy arrived at Saint Joseph’s College after a fine career at Mount Desert Island High School, where he played for Mike Clark. An outstanding right-handed pitcher, Andy led his high school team to the Eastern Maine Class B Championship and an appearance in the state title game at Larry Mahaney Diamond on the campus of Saint Joseph’s College. Andy possesses a good fastball, which is complimented by a nice breaking ball that he can throw for strikes.

As a freshman at St. Joe’s, Andy pitched well, but had limited appearances. As a sophomore, Andy came to the forefront as one of the Monks’ top relievers. He led the team with 17 appearances and boasted a 2-0 record and a 3.09 era. As a junior, Andy never really got on track as his ERA shot up to 5.94. Look for Andy to rebound and anchor the Monks relief corps in 2009.

Andy is the son of Bob & Jane Pooler of Southwest Harbor, Maine.

fall, with a wink, that we “are the only ones stubborn enough to stick around,” but I couldn’t imagine not being a Monk, and most of that feeling is thanks to Coach Sanborn.

Coach Sanborn doesn’t get enough credit for what he has done over these past four years, and not because of all the team’s accolades. What he has done is taken my teammates and me and turned us into men. Over the past four years, Coach has taught me that baseball isn’t about stats and wins, but about pride, because in today’s sport society, baseball is becoming a business. Coach made sure this didn’t happen by seeing that we cherished the game and the time with our teammates every day.

He didn’t push us through four-hour practices and morning runs just because he could, but to build character. The reason for these was to help us realize that for us to win, we must be mentally and physically tough on and off the field. He has taught me to first excel off the field, and that will allow for me to succeed on the diamond.

PLAYER PROFILES MICHAEL HEBENSTREIT • #8 • Catcher • Senior • 5-9 • 165 Sports Management • Centerville, Massachusetts • Barnstable H.S. memories I will walk away with include three trips in three years to the NCAA Regional Tournament on the Cape, the countless trips to the bullpen, and abundance of other stories that have been told and that have been created in the vans and in the dorms. These memories could not have been made anywhere else because I have not seen or heard of any other school talk about their teammates and coaches like we do here.

The relationships that were made on this team will live on forever, and I cannot thank every former and current player enough for letting me carry these stories and memories on for the rest of my life. Special thanks to Wade, Andy, and Steve for being there all four years, through all the good, and the few tough times that we made it through.

Michael came to Saint Joseph’s College from Barnstable High School, where he played for Pete Auger.

During his senior year, Mike helped lead Barnstable to the Old Colony League Championship.

Coach Sanborn on Mike; “Michael is the type of player who will do anything he can to help the team – his work catching bullpens is invaluable to the Monks’ pitching staff. Mike makes everyone on the team better because of his positive attitude and work ethic. His hustle and desire add a great deal to the team culture of SJC Baseball.”

The other thing that the baseball program has done for me here has made me a better student in the classroom, and a better person off the field. In high school, I did the bare minimum and thought it was okay, but Coach Sanborn really taught me that you have to get better and better every day, not only on the field, but in the classroom too, because, “You don’t stay the same; you either get better or you get worse.” Another person who has made me a better person today is Fr. John. Even though he was only there for my freshman year, the impact he had on me, and his willingness to reach out and do anything for anybody has inspired me to do the same whenever the opportunity arises with service projects.

Michael is the son of Bill and Sandy Hebenstreit of Centerville, Massachusetts.

When I was graduating high school, the decision about where I wanted to attend college was based on three things. First, the school needed to have my intended major.

Second, it had to be a small college, because I thought my high school was too big. And finally, the college had to have a winning baseball team that I could have a chance at making.

Looking back on my decision, I do not have any regrets about choosing Saint Josephs College over any other school I could have attended.

I want to thank my parents and siblings for putting up with me not being around much. Being the oldest of five kids, I know it was not easy for my parents to watch their first-born go away to school, and for all of my siblings who no longer had their big brother around. I love you all and thank you for supporting me in everything that I have done, and I know you all will continue to do so in the future.

Everybody has heard the phrase, “Time flies when you are having fun,” and I will be the first to say that we have had our fun, and the time certainly has not stopped. It seems like yesterday I was moving my stuff into Standish Hall and had to have my mom and grandfather finish moving my stuff in because of the meeting at Larry Mahaney Diamond that all freshman had to attend.

JUSTIN FRECHETTE • #5 •Third Base • Freshman • 6-0 • 185 Nursing • Hebron, Maine • Oxford Hills H.S. Justin played his high school baseball for Shane Slicer at Oxford Hills High School in South Paris, Maine. A fine student and standout athlete, Justin played third base for his high school team and was an All Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference selection in 2007.

Dan’s American Legion team was just as successful, winning the State Championship and moving

along to the New England Regional where Dan hit .400 over four games and did not make an error.

As a freshman infielder, Dan will work hard to break into the lineup. A solid lefthanded hitter with good hands, Dan could see time at either second or third base.

run average. Curtis also played for Ludlow Legion where he was 3-2 with a 1.26 era.

Coach Sanborn is very excited to have Curtis as part of the program. He has the possibility of playing a big role both on the pitching staff and in the lineup in his freshman year.

Curtis is the son of Greg and Denise Orlik of Brimfield, Massachusetts.

PLAYER PROFILES GERARD HOWLEY • #14 • Pitcher • Freshman • 5-10 • 175 Management • Millis, Massachusetts • Millis H.S.

As a junior in high school, Gerry was named the Millis High School Clutch Player of the Year and was a TriValley League All-Star. As a senior, Howley was again a Tri-Valley All-Star and was selected as his team’s Most Valuable Player.

Gerry also had a great year for his American Legion baseball team as he was selected as the 2008 Medfield Legion MVP. The Saint Joseph’s College coaching staff looks for Gerry to play a key role as a left-handed pitcher out of the bull pen in 2009.

He is the son of Vincent and Charlene Howley of Millis, Massachusetts.

JOSH ASTBURY • #15 • Pitcher • Freshman • 6-1 • 185 Business Management • Blue Hill, Maine • Blue Hill H.S. Josh comes to Saint Joseph’s College from George Stevens Academy in Blue Hill, Maine, where he played for Dan Kane. A reliable front line starter for GSA, Josh was named a First Team Penobscot Valley Conference Pitcher during both his junior and senior seasons.

Josh was impressive on the mound during the fall ‘08 baseball season. St. Joe’s supporters will be impressed with the competitiveness and poise of this young right-hander.

Josh’s parents are Michael and Patricia Astbury of Blue Hill, Maine.

PETER ALLAIN • #16 • Infield • Freshman • 5-9 • 185 History • Salem, New Hampshire • Salem H.S.

Pete hit .404 and .526,

respectively, during his last two summers of Legion baseball.

The SJC coaching staff is looking for Peter to compete for the third base job as a freshman. With a strong arm and quick bat, Pete could provide some added punch to the Monks’ already potent lineup.

Pete is the son of Peter and Mary Ellen Allain of Salem, New Hampshire.

JON DAHMS • #19 • Catcher • Freshman • 5-11 • 190 Human Resource Management • Gorham, Maine • Gorham H.S. Jon Dahms joins the Monks after playing his high school baseball for Rocky Myers at Gorham High School. As the team’s catcher Jon was a captain during his senior year when he hit .280 while providing excellent defense behind the plate.

18

With his work ethic and positive attitude Jon is ready to make an impact on SJC baseball.

Jon is the son of James and Robyn Dahms of Gorham, Maine.

PLAYER PROFILES SAM MURRAY • #34 • Pitcher • Freshman • 6-2 • 175 Liberal Studies • Walpole, Massachusetts • Walpole H.S. Sam comes to Saint Josephs’ College as a highly touted left-handed pitcher from Walpole, Massachusetts, where he played for Bill Tomkins. As a senior captain, Sam had one of the strongest seasons on the mound in Walpole history. Sam was 8-2 with a 0.94 earned run average, 82 strikeouts and only 4 walks in 83 innings pitched!

Sam was named a First Team Bay State League All-Star, 2008 Boston Herald AllScholastic, and he was the 2008 Daily News Transcript Player of the Year. If that wasn’t

enough, in American Legion for Walpole Legion Post 104, Sam was 10-0 with 2 saves, a 0.75 ERA with 65 strikeouts in 70 innings pitched.

A minor arm issue kept Sam on the sidelines for most of the ‘08 fall baseball season at St. Joe’s, so his teammates have yet to see what this southpaw can bring to the rotation. Look for big things from Sam Murray when he takes the mound for Coach Sanborn in 2009.

Sam is the son of Steven and Marion Murray of Walpole, Massachusetts.

COACHING STAFF HEAD COACH WILL SANBORN (#26)

Sanborn; he has more wins than any baseball coach in school history. He enters the 2009 season with a 16-year record of 405-247-6 (.621).

“It’s a tribute to the continued commitment that Saint Joseph’s has made to our baseball program. The College has given us the tools to build a winning program. The foundation of our program has been the fine young men we have been able to attract to our campus,” says Sanborn of his success with the Monks. “We have had outstanding groups of student-athletes, assistant coaches and support staff who have all contributed to our success, so I don’t think of this as a personal accomplishment as much as it is a Saint Joseph’s accomplishment.”

Since arriving at Saint Joseph’s as head coach for the fall of 1992, Sanborn has made tremendous improvements to the baseball facilities. Larry Mahaney Diamond is one of the finest baseball facilities in the Northeast and includes a new wooden fence, lights, pressbox, hitting area, bleachers, locker room and an inning-by-inning electronic scoreboard, making every baseball game at Saint Joseph’s a first-class affair.

Sanborn’s drive to win first became evident during his playing career at Saint Joseph’s from 1984-86 when he was a member of some of the program’s finest teams.

During that time, the Monks averaged just over 20 wins per season, including 25-plus wins in 1985 and 1986.

In 1986, his senior season, Sanborn played an integral role in leading Saint Joseph’s to their second most winning season in program history (34) and their firstever New England championship. Sanborn is still part of the SJC single-season record book for games played (48), runs scored (59) and walks (51).

Prior to taking over as head coach at Saint Joseph’s, Sanborn coached at many levels. He has held coaching positions with Bonny Eagle High School, Bar Mills American Legion and the Twilight League. He is also Director of the Saint Joseph’s Baseball Camp, and currently serves as Associate Director of Athletics at Saint Joseph’s College.

Will resides in Standish with his wife, Lynn Brown, who is the Dean of Students at Saint Joseph’s College, and their two children, Morgan and Lincoln.

Will Sanborn has built the Saint Joseph’s baseball program into a consistent winner. In recent years, Sanborn has led the Monks into the upper echelon of one of the country’s toughest regions, the Northeast.

Sanborn’s accomplishments at Saint Joseph’s have been numerous.

During his 16 years as head coach, the Monks have won 20+ games 12 times. Recent history has been particularly impressive, as the Monks posted three straight 30-win seasons from 2005-07, and a 28-18 mark in 2008.

In 2005, Saint Joseph’s College Baseball began a new era as an associate member of the North Atlantic Conference. In the team’s first season in the NAC, the Monks finished with an impressive 14-1 Conference record. Saint Joseph’s Baseball also won its first North Atlantic Conference Championship and made its firstever ECAC tournament appearance, finishing with a 3210 record. In 2006, the Monks again charted new territory by posting a 34-10-1 record and making their firstever trip to the NCAA New England Regional Tournament. In 2007, the Monks won their third consecutive North Atlantic Conference Championship and advanced to the NCAA Division III New England Regional for the second consecutive year. Saint Joseph’s finished the 2007 campaign with an outstanding 30-12 record. 2008 was the first year in the Great Northeast Conference, and the Monks set the tone by winning the GNAC Championship and, once again, advancing to the NCAA DIII New England Regional.

Prior to these most recent NCAA accomplishments, SJC baseball set the standard for NAIA New England baseball under Sanborn’s direction. In 2002, Saint Joseph’s completed its NAIA New England dominance by once again winning the NAIA New England Championship. The Monks then moved on to capture the NAIA Region X Championship in Orangeburg, New York. Sanborn has led Saint Joseph’s to New England championships on five different occasions (1994, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2002) and has three Maine Athletic Conference titles under his belt (1999, 2000, 2001).

Although his teams have enjoyed a high level of success recently, success is certainly not new to

COACHING STAFF ASSISTANT COACH - COREY McCARTHY (#21)

ASSISTANT COACH - NICK MIRABELLO (#2) A 2003 Saint Joseph’s College graduate and standout baseball player.

Nick Mirabello returns to the shores of Sebago Lake to serve as an Assistant Baseball Coach. Known for his positive attitude and high energy as a player, Nick brings the same passion and drive to his coaching career.

Corey McCarthy is back for his fourth season as a member of the Monks’ coaching staff.

Corey is a 1993 graduate of Midway High School in Inkster, North Dakota.

Following high school, Corey went on to play college baseball as an infielder for NAIA Schools Mayville State University, University of MinnesotaCrookston and University of Mary.

As a player at St. Joe’s, Nick was a key part of several outstanding teams.

An excellent outfielder with blazing speed, Nick was a left-handed hitter who could spray the ball to all fields, and bunt for a base hit at will. During his four years as a Monk ,the team compiled an impressive 112-58 record with one Maine Athletic Conference Championship, one regular season MAC title, two NAIA New England Championships and one NAIA Northeast Region Championship.

Corey began his coaching career in 1994 and has coached at all levels including Little League, Babe Ruth, Legion, Senior Babe Ruth, and Twilight League. In 2001, he accepted the position of Assistant Baseball Coach at Marshwood High School. While there, Corey worked with Head Coach Doug Lewis for 4 years including the 2003 season when the Hawks advanced to the Western Maine Class A Semi-Finals.

When Nick graduated from Saint Joseph’s College, he began a professional career in baseball working for Comcast as Director of Marketing for the Baltimore Orioles Single A affiliate Delmarva Shorebirds. As he began to climb the corporate ladder, Nick was moved to Philadelphia where he worked for Comcast at the Wachovia Center. With another promotion to the west coast in the offing, Nick decided it was time to return to his roots and begin his coaching career at Saint Joseph’s College.

Coach Sanborn comments on Coach McCarthy: “It is no coincidence that one of the most successful and consistent periods in St. Joe’s baseball history has come to our program since the addition of Coach McCarthy.

Corey is not only well respected, but he is well liked by our players. He is a fine teacher of the game who brings a great deal to the program both on and off the field.

Corey has also become a great scout and recruiter, helping to bring many talented players to our program.

Perhaps most importantly, Coach McCarthy has added a great deal to our team chemistry and team culture. His unselfish commitment to St. Joe’s baseball has been a real key to our success.”

Coach Sanborn on Nick’s return to SJC: “It is truly a pleasure to have Coach Mirabello as part of our coaching staff. Nick knows the tradition and expectations of Saint Joseph’s College Baseball from a player’s perspective.

His energy and enthusiasm are infectious; he has already added a tremendous amount to our team.”

Corey also serves as the Sports Information Director for Saint Josephs’ College. He resides in Standish with his wife Kate and their son, Cameron.

Nick lives at Saint Joseph’s College and also serves as a part of the Student Life staff.

COACHING STAFF ASSISTANT COACH - ROD CHOROSZY (#11)

ASSISTANT COACH - MIKE GREVE (#18) Mike will once again don the Royal Blue for Coach Sanborn as he returns to the program as the Monks’ Junior Varsity Coach.

At the top of Coach Sanborn’s recruiting wish list for 2009 was a topnotch pitching coach, and the St. Joe’s skipper landed his top choice – Rod Choroszy. Rod’s duties will include overseeing the pitching staff, assisting with practice and game planning, and recruiting.

As a pitcher at the University of Maine, under the tutelage of the late Jack Butterfield, Choroszy compiled records for the most appearances and saves in a single season.

Mike played his high school baseball for Jeff Trundy at Cony High School and was part of a pipeline of Augusta natives to come through the St. Joe’s program in the late 90’s. Mike had a fine career for the Monks from 1997 – 2000 when he was the starting first baseman. His career stats reflect his prowess with the bat as his four-year totals show that he hit .292 with 12 home runs and 73 RBIs. Perhaps his most productive year was his junior season in which he hit .320 with 41 hits and 40 RBIs. It was also in 1999 that Mike put on an impressive performance vs. the University of Southern Maine, going 4-for-4 with 2 home runs and 2 doubles. Typical of Mike, he played his best games against strong competition in big situations. Most impressive is that Mike was a key part of some of the most successful teams in St. Joe’s history. During his time at St. Joe’s, the Monks were an incredible 105-583, while winning two NAIA New England Championships and two Maine Athletic Conference Championships.

Choroszy, a University of Maine graduate with a degree in Health and Physical Education, is currently a health and physical education teacher at South Portland High School and resides in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

After being out of the game since a brief stint as a volunteer assistant for Coach Sanborn in 2005, Mike is very excited to be working with Monks baseball again.

He will work primarily with the hitters and first basemen.

Choroszy joins the SJC baseball staff after coaching at Southern Maine Community College as an assistant under head coach Phil Desjardins for the past three seasons. While there, Choroszy helped guide the Seawolves to a pair of Yankee Small College Conference Championships.

Choroszy served as the head baseball coach for South Portland High School for 16 years in the 1980’s and ‘90’s and steered the Red Riots to the Western Maine playoffs in 12 seasons, including three trips to the finals and one Western Maine Championship.

Mike resides in Gray, Maine.

ASSISTANT COACH - BRYAN PAGE (#54) Bryan Page is entering his first season on the SJC baseball staff. Bryan is a 1999 graduate of Savio Preparatory High School in East Boston, Mass. Bryan continued on to Salem State College in Salem, Mass., where he spent two seasons on Coach Ken Perrone’s roster as a pitcher/outfielder.

After being away from the game for a time, Bryan is extremely thrilled about joining the SJC staff as a volunteer assistant. Bryan hopes to bring a passion and commitment to excellence on and off the field.

Bryan works as a youth pastor for a church in Fryeburg, Maine. He resides in Gorham, Maine, with his wife Danielle.

2008 SEASON IN REVIEW 2008 SEASON REVIEW: MONKS FIRST YEAR IN GNAC RESULTS IN CHAMPIONSHIP Saint Joseph’s College Baseball Captures 2008 Great Northeast Athletic Conference Title

from Bowdoin 12-3 and 10-0 to improve to 13-10. Thus began the month of April that would see Saint Joseph’s College go 18-4 and return to regional prominence.

Saint Joseph’s College Baseball completed its first season in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference in exciting fashion, coming out of the number four seed in the conference tournament to capture the title in its first year of competition in the new conference.

The highlight of the 2008 season came in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference tournament. Finishing the conference regular season as the #4 seed, St. Joe’s opened the conference tournament by hosting Albertus Magnus College. The two teams had split during the regular season and the crowd was large as St. Joe’s hosted its first-ever GNAC playoff game. Eight Monks notched hits, and Luke Enman led the way by going 2-4 with 3 RBI as St. Joe’s advanced to the next round by defeating Albertus Magnus 10-6. Pat Moran (7 IP, 2 ER, 7 Ks) pitched well, and Chris Dion and Andrew Keirstead finished out the victory.

The 2008 campaign began on March 2nd in Florida, at the Port Charlotte Invitational. After losing two out of the first three games, the Monks rebounded, winning five out of their last six in Florida. The Monks completed the spring trip to the sunshine state with wins over Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Thomas More College, Northland College, Olivet College and Misericordia University. With a 6-win-3loss record coming out of Florida, expectations were high for the Royal Blue as the team headed north.

The next stop for St. Joe’s baseball was a weekend trip to the Washington, D.C. area for games with Catholic University and Salisbury University. Little did the team know that this trip would begin a skid that would put a successful season in jeopardy. On March 20, SJC split a doubleheader with Catholic University thanks to the offensive punch of Ryan Murphy (2-3 with 2 RBI) and Luke Enman (2-3 with 2 runs scored) in game two. On March 21, the Monks dropped a doubleheader to nationallyranked Salisbury University. The skid continued the following weekend as the Monks began conference play. A disappointing weekend was the result, as St. Joe’s lost all four games of their first conference weekend with Suffolk University and Johnson and Wales. After losing 7 out of 8 games, the team dropped to 7-10 and there was a great deal of soul-searching in Standish. With a talented squad and a positive attitude, SJC was looking to rebound as the team entered the month of April.

Next, the tournament would move to Suffolk University, as SJC would take on the #1 seed. Prior to this game, St. Joe’s had lost to Suffolk four straight times (2 in 2007 and 2 in 2008). Coach Sanborn sent lefty Andrew Keirstead to the mound for the most important game of the year.

Keirstead was masterful, as he bested Suffolk starter Steve Durant for the 7-1 victory. Keirstead pitched 9 innings while scattering 9 hits and helping Coach Sanborn to notch his 400th career victory. Wade Oliver (2-5, 2 RBI), Brian Schools (2-5), and Luke Enman (3-5) led the offense to the most satisfying victory of the season.

The road to the GNAC title would not be easy, as the next GNAC Tournament opponent would be Johnson and Wales University. Mason Roberge scattered 8 hits over 5 2/3 innings and Chris Dion notched the save with 3 1/3 innings of 1 hit, 1 run relief as the Monks defeated Johnson and Wales 6-4. Luke Enman and Dustin Spiller led the way with 2 hits each, as SJC moved to the championship game.

April 2008 proved to be a defining month for SJC baseball as the team began the process of turning the season around. The pitching staff began to lead the way with a four-game conference weekend vs. Emerson and Daniel Webster Colleges. In game one of the weekend, Pat Moran gave up 3 hits while notching 8 strikeouts as the Monks won 9-1 over Emerson. In the second game, Mike Burdin would provide a solid outing on the hill as he scattered 8 hits giving up no earned runs in a 7-1 SJC victory. Things were starting to look up as the Monks completed the four-game conference weekend with a doubleheader sweep of Daniel Webster College.

Suffolk University was once again the opponent as St. Joe’s attempted to win the GNAC in the team’s first year in the conference. Pat Moran came through with a Curt Schilling-type of performance. Pitching with a severely bruised groin, Moran went 7 2/3 innings while giving up only 3 earned runs on 4 strikeouts and 1 walk. Andrew Keirstead pitched the last 1 1/3 innings for the save, as SJC won a thriller by the score of 6-5. The Monks’ offense was paced by Luke Enman (2-4, 2 runs), Ben Grant-Roy (2-4, 2 RBI) and Todd Keneborus (2-4, 1 run). Luke Enman’s dramatic home run in the eighth inning provided the margin of victory for the Royal Blue. With the victory, St. Joe’s captured it’s first-ever GNAC title and secured a place in the NCAA DIII New England Regional Baseball Tournament.

Next came one of the biggest non-conference doubleheaders of the season, as St. Joe’s played host to Bowdoin College. Coach Sanborn sent a pair of lefties to the mound against the Polar Bears, and he couldn’t help but be pleased with the results, as SJC swept a doubleheader 24

2008 SEASON IN REVIEW Saint Joseph’s was defeated in the first two games of the 2008 NCAA DIII New England Regional – a disappointing end to an otherwise very successful season. The team finished with a 28-18 record and won the GNAC Championship – a great achievement in the first year of GNAC membership. Many players had excellent individual seasons for the Monks including: Luke Enman – Senior – Luke hit .368 with 46 runs scored, 56 hits including 12 doubles, 7 triples, 7 home runs and 41 RBI. Luke was selected as the GNAC Player of the Year and was selected for the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association All- Star Game which was played at Fenway Park. Enman was also named to the GNAC AllConference Team and the GNAC All-Tournament Team.

Ben Grant-Roy – Junior – Ben played a fine first base and finished the season with some impressive offensive numbers. Ben hit .367 with 37 runs scored and 54 hits. He had 6 doubles and 7 home runs while delivering 41 RBIs. Ben was named to the GNAC All-Conference Team.

and sportsmanship made him an inspiration to his teammates. His countless hours of catching in the bull pen truly made the Monks a better team.

As a team, the 2008 Monks hit an impressive .321 with 28 home runs and a .399 on base percentage. On the mound, the Royal Blue pitchers posted a 28-18 record with 6 saves. The staff put up a 4.67 team ERA in 343 innings of work, while striking out 213 batters and holding the opposition to a .283 batting average.

Dustin Spiller – Senior – Dustin has been remarkably consistent in his time at SJC and his senior year was no different. He hit .341 with 45 runs and 51 hits. Dustin hit 18 doubles and had 39 RBI. Wade Oliver – Junior – Wade had another fine year, hitting .341 with 45 runs and 56 hits with 12 doubles and 30 RBI. Wade was named to the GNAC All-Conference Team and the GNAC All-Tournament Team. Wade was also the recipient of the 2008 Saint Joseph’s College Baseball Gold Glove Award.

“I am very excited about the direction the program is going in” said head coach Will Sanborn. “We will miss these six seniors a great deal; they have been a major part of our success both on the field and off (four-year record of 124-50-1 with four conference championships). I am excited about the young men that are coming in this fall.

We should be very competitive in 2009.”

Andrew Keirstead – Sophomore – Andrew was 6-3 with a 4.72 ERA and was named the GNAC Tournament MVP and SJC Pitcher of the Year.

Let the record show; 2008 was another banner year for St. Joseph’s College baseball and head coach Will Sanborn.

Ian Lee – Sophomore – was named SJC and GNAC Rookie of the Year while hitting .341 with 33 RBIs. Pat Moran – Sophomore – In his first season with SJC, Pat was 4-5 with a 3.88 ERA, had two key wins in the GNAC Tournament and was named to the GNAC AllTournament Team.

Brian Schools – Senior - .304 with 45 hits, 35 Runs and a .351 on base percentage. Brian was named the team’s Most Dedicated Player.

Stephan Gorsun – Junior - was selected as the recipient of the Saint Joseph’s College Baseball Coaches Award for his leadership and dedication to SJC Baseball.

David Doucette – Senior Captain - was honored as he received the Robert R. Doyle Award for his contribution to St. Joe’s baseball.

2008 AWARD WINNERS ROBERT R. DOYLE AWARD On November 10, 2005, Saint Joseph’s College Baseball suffered the tragic loss of former pitching coach Robert R. “Bobby” Doyle. The Robert R. Doyle Award is presented each year in loving memory of Coach Doyle.

For 12 seasons, Bob Doyle served Saint Joseph’s College baseball selflessly and tirelessly. His love of the game and dedication to his Bob Doyle pitching staff is legendary among St. Joe’s players. His confident, calm demeanor inspired greatness in his pitching staff. Coach Doyle was much more than a successful pitching coach – he was a mentor and friend to the young men whom he coached.

Bob Doyle’s contributions to Saint Joseph’s College Baseball will be forever honored with the annual presentation of this award in his name.

The third annual Robert R. Doyle Award was presented to senior David Doucette, of Ipswich, Massachusetts, at the team’s 2008 Awards Banquet held at the Woodlands Country Club in Falmouth, Maine on May 12, 2008.

David was honored for his character and dedication to Monks Baseball. Coach Sanborn on David, “David really embodies the spirit and David Doucette legacy of our former pitching coach Bob Doyle. He is just the type of young man Coach Doyle loved to work with. As a business major, David is all business, always serious about doing the best job that he can. David is soft spoken, dedicated, intelligent, sincere, and unselfish. David cares more about the success of the team than his own interests.

His quiet leadership has been a key to the success of our pitching staff over the last four years.”

ALUMNI APPRECIATION AWARD Each year Saint Joseph’s College baseball honors one person on behalf of the SJC Baseball Alumni for dedication to Saint Joseph’s College Baseball. Jason Chisholm was honored for his dedication to Monks Baseball at the teams’ 2008 Awards Banquet at the Woodlands Country Club on May 12, 2008.

Coach Sanborn on Jason, “In Jason Chisholm I really feel Jason Chisholm that we have one of the top athletic field managers in New England, maybe the country. What makes Jason special is that he is a real member of our team. He has a passion for what he does, a real passion for providing the best possible playing experience for our athletes. His attention to detail and his knowledge of field maintenance has helped take our facility to a new level. His excellence was honored when our field, Larry Mahaney Diamond, received the American Baseball Coaches Association/Turface Field Maintenance Award at the ABCA Convention in San Diego, California this year.

A CAREER TO REMEMBER

Wake up outfield; here comes another one ...

JESSE LACASSE (Class of 2003, Madison, Me., Madison H.S.) will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the greatest hitters in Saint Joseph’s College Baseball history. Feared by opponents from his first at-bat in a college uniform until his last, Jesse is at the top of the record books as a hitter for St. Joe’s. Jesse was inducted into the Saint Joseph’s College Athletic Hall of Fame in November 2008.

LARRY MAHANEY DIAMOND Larry Mahaney Diamond on the campus of Saint Joseph’s College is one of the finest small-college baseball facilities in the country. Although the baseball program at St. Joe’s began in the early 1970’s, it was not until 1986 that the Monks actually played a home game on the Sebago Lake campus. In 1988, lights were added making the facility the only fully-lighted collegiate baseball/softball complex in New England. While these were huge steps in the history of the baseball program, they were only the first in the development of what has become of the finest baseball facilities anywhere. On September 29, 2001, Saint Joseph’s College officially dedicated its baseball field, Larry Mahaney Diamond, in honor of Maine businessman and philanthropist Larry Mahaney.

facility is a key part of my coaching philosophy. I want players in our program to realize that things are always moving forward with regard to both the program and the facility. It is exciting to be part of a team that is always reaching for new heights.”

Future plans for Larry Mahaney Diamond include the addition of another ‘Alumni Box’ over the first-base dugout, new seating behind home plate and the addition of another light pole. “When I played at St. Joe’s, we had no baseball field. We had to drive off campus to practice and play. To go from having nothing, to having one of the top facilities around is something we are very proud of. The progress we have made has been remarkable. We are very fortunate to have the support of both the institution and donors like Larry Mahaney.”

Due to the generous support of the institution, the philanthropy of Larry Mahaney and the dedication of the players and coaches, Larry Mahaney Diamond features many outstanding amenities, including:

Larry Mahaney Diamond has been the host site for many prestigious baseball tournaments, including the Maine State High School Baseball Tournament, New England Babe Ruth Baseball Tournament, Maine American Legion Baseball Tournament, NAIA New England Tournament and the NAIA Super Regional Tournament.

• Full Infield Turf Renovation - completed 2005 • Lights - upgraded in 2003 • Brick Wall - constructed in 2003 - stretches from dugout to dugout and includes net • On-Field Locker Room - upgraded in 2003 • Fiber Optic Phone and Data Service to Press Box completed November 2003 • Public Address System - upgraded April 2004 • Nevco 324-sq. ft. Inning-by-Inning Scoreboard • Two Outdoor Batting Cages • 12-Station Toss and “T” area • 10 Bullpen Mounds • Fully-Equipped Press Box • 500-Seat Bleacher Area • Concession Stand • Full Infield Tarp • In-Ground Irrigation System Featuring Infield Dust Control • Wooden Outfield Fence • Alumni Box Overlooking Home Dugout • Some of the Best Infield/Outfield Natural Grass Turf in New England

In February 2006, the Maine sports community suffered a terrible loss with the death of Larry Mahaney.

Mr. Mahaney’s vision and generosity not only benefited Saint Joseph’s College, but countless others, including the University of Maine, where the baseball field, Mahaney Diamond, is also named in his honor. Larry Mahaney was also the driving force behind the Maine High School Senior All-Star Game.
